How Afterburner is built
Overview of one Afterburner build: the client renderer and memory work, the server algorithms, the optional chunk link for slow connections, and the switch that turns each optimization off.
Chunk rendering pipeline
How chunks are built off-thread and drawn: region batching, 16-byte vertices, face grouping, occlusion tests and the entity and section culling they feed.
Smaller chunks on slow connections
Chunk link between a Forge 26.3 server and a Fabric 26.3 client: chunks matched from the player's own disk on a rejoin, and bytes per chunk. One test world.
Dropped items: CPU in the item tick (0.2.0 vs 0.2.1)
Forge 26.3 server with 1,600 resting items, three interleaved runs of 0.2.0 and 0.2.1 on a laptop. Lower is better. A server with few resting items will see little difference.
